    I originally had my items stored with ********* in ****** , **. Clutter acquired ********* during the pandemic. During that time, they moved my storage belongings from the warehouse in ****** to a warehouse in ********, **. I was unaware of this storage move, and was not given any documentation asking for my permission. During this storage move, two of my collectible furniture items valued at over $3,050 dollars, were damaged by their team. The chair will need an entire piece replaced, and is no longer functional. The coffee table legs are now damaged, and there is a huge gash into the wood on the corner. Both pieces are design collectibles and go up in value/price. Both pieces are new, and were in pristine condition when I initially stored the items.I've signed a contract with them , stating " The coverage for your items is $1/lb per your current policys Protection Plan. Normally, the payout would be based on the weight of each item. " However, I had no intention of moving the items, and was not aware they would be moving. The company did not contact me to let me know when the damage occurred, and so when I finally removed all items from storage for an upcoming move, the damage was uncovered. I've filed a claim with them, and they are offering me $540, which does not cover the amount to repurchase the items. I've stored my items with Makespace/Clutter for 5 years, and have paid over $9,000 in storage fees for their premium services and space. I expected that they would offer full compensation, since there was clearly wrong on their part. I've reached out to speak with a manager, and they have said there is nothing further they can help me with and will not fully compensate me. They have not offered an apology. When I've asked for documentation regarding the move during the acquisition, they said they do not have any documentation to provide. I never gave them permission to move my storage items, which has now resulted in damaged items of value.

    Clutter is a moving and storage company that provides long-term warehouse storage services for its clients household items. Clutter is a subscription-based model that provides concierge pickup and delivery services to its clients. All costs of service are communicated during booking through the clients storage dashboard, the Account Portal, at **********************************.

    In 2021, Clutter acquired a similar company, *********, and formally transitioned all MakeSpace clients to Clutter stewardship in February 2022. In July and August 2021, prior to the acquisition, ********* sent mass emails to all ********* customers informing them of the impending acquisition. This email encouraged clients to remove all items from storage in a Final Return appointment, to be completed prior to the transfer, if clients did not wish to be subject to Clutters terms, pricing, and service area limitations. ******* past the acquisition subjects clients to Clutters Terms of Service and Limited Security Warranty Policy, visible at ****************************************************************;********** business closure also meant a consolidation of clients stored items into Clutter storage warehouses, conducted in the first half of 2022.

    When clients first signed up with ********** services, clients were given the option of selecting a supplemental damage liability coverage plan (Basic, Silver, and Gold), which billed at a monthly additional rate. In order to book the first pickup appointment, clients were required to select from one of these three plans.

    ***** ****** first became a MakeSpace customer on 30 November 2019, and was transitioned to Clutter stewardship on 22 February 2022. When signing up for ********** services, ****** selected the Basic supplemental damage liability coverage plan, which covers $0.60/lb/eligible item, regardless of the eligible items utility, scope of damages, or fair market value. When ******* account came under ********************** stewardship, ****** was automatically provided the nearest comparable coverage plan, at $1/lb/eligible item, regardless of the eligible items utility, scope of damages, or fair market value. To be eligible for coverage, an item must meet criteria outlined in the Limited Security Warranty Policy and Terms of Service.

    Clutter delivers to ******, **, as is outlined in our Delivery Zones found here: **********************************************************************************************. Rather than opting for a concierge delivery to an address in ******, **, ****** instead chose to schedule a Facility Pickup appointment at our ********, **, location, which was completed on 3 February 2025.

    Item damages or losses are never an expectation when using Clutters services, but unfortunately, during the servicing of the 3 February 2025 appointment, it was discovered that one of ******* chairs was damaged, and one of ******* tables was scratched. Clutter offers a claims process to address missing or damaged items. All claims are assessed in alignment with the Limited Security Warranty Policy and Terms of Service, as well as the Protection Plan coverage level outlined above.
    The aggregate weight of the two items claimed was determined to be 40 lbs, receiving $40 per Clutter policy, or $24 per MakeSpace policy, under ******* chosen damage liability coverage plan. 

    As a one-time courtesy and after discussing this matter at length with the Trust and Safety team, a member of the Trust and Safety team offered an increase of $500 above policy, for a $540 sum offer for the two items declared, or $270 apiece.

    Per the Limited Security Warranty, visible at *****************************************************************,

    "You acknowledge and agree that the Limited Security Warranty set forth herein shall be your sole and exclusive remedy and Clutters total liability to you in connection with any lost, stolen, or damaged Stored Items."

    While we understand that ****** is seeking additional compensation beyond the $500 extension above policy that Clutter has offered, the $540 aggregate for both items declared represents the sole and final offer Clutter will be providing.

    If ****** has any remaining questions, ****** is welcome to contact the Trust and Safety team through ******* standing lines of communication with the Trust and Safety team.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I have no documentation from Clutter or Makespace requesting my permission to have my items moved into a new storage facility. There is no PDF or document record from either company, which has been confirmed by Clutter staff. 

    Life Storage, whom has purchased Clutter in 2023, now owns this business. They have a market value of ***** billion dollars. So in essence, this company has the funds to pay for the damages to my items but is ethically unsound and is flat out refusing. This is a matter of ethics and integrity.

    While Clutter was storing several pieces of solid wood furniture that I owned at their ************************************* facility--beginning in March 2019 and concluding in December of 2024 at approximately $90 a month--they damaged and disposed of it. The explanation for the damage was "bedbugs." Consequently, I believe this damage and disposal was a result of their gross negligence and willful misconduct. Under their Limited Security Warranty their responsibility for such loss is "a total maximum of US $1000.00 in aggregate per User." ********************** offered to settle the claim for $120.00. The nature of this dispute is if "bedbugs" can damage solid wood furniture to the extent that it needs to be disposed of, Clutter's offer is $880.00 short of their documented warranty. While that amount does not come close to what would be needed to replace the items I have informed them that it would be acceptable.

    Business response

    02/09/2025

    The complainant is misreading the Limited Security Warranty Policy. The Limited Security Warranty Policy states:

     

    "Subject to the terms, limitations, exclusions, and conditions of this Limited Security Warranty Policy and the Agreement, and solely to the extent covered by Clutters insurance policy, Clutter will reimburse you for:
    Loss of or damage to your properly packed Stored Items that have been tampered with, lost or stolen while in Clutters possession, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (the "Limited Security Warranty"); damage to your household caused by Clutters gross negligence or willful misconduct, up to a total maximum of US $1000 in aggregate per User;
    and/or damage to your personal effects caused by Clutters gross negligence or willful misconduct, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (together with (i) and (ii), also part of the Limited Security Warranty). In order to be eligible for reimbursement under (ii) or (iii), you must timely notify Clutter of any applicable damage while Clutter personnel remain present during or after the performance of services. Clutter shall have the right to decrease or deny reimbursement to the extent that your or a third partys negligence or willful act contributed to the claimed damage."

     

    **********************************************************************

    The complainant is mistaking "damage to your household," meaning property damage such as scratched floors or punctured drywall, is protected up to $1000. The relevant section is "and/or damage to your personal effects caused by Clutters gross negligence or willful misconduct, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User." The complainant did not purchase additional protection and agreed to $1/lb coverage, meaning the coverage is based on the claimed item's weight and not the value. This is standard in the household goods carrier industry. More can be learned about how a goods carrier covers item damage from this FMSCA article:

    I am rejecting this response because: Clutter has now documented what they consider to be their only liability for the damage done to, and the disposal of, my propertya total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User. However it is doubtful ********************** actually weighed the items before they disposed of them and offered to settle my claim for $120.00. For example, their claim offer indicates that all items damaged and disposed of each weighed exactly the same. This is impossible. Each item was radically different in size and weight though all the items were solid wood. Their offer cant be considered legitimate.

    While Clutter stands by its initial assessment, we are amenable to updating the $1/lb/item initial assessment if ******* provides manufacturer specs for these items demonstrating that these items did not weigh 40 lbs. If the manufacturer's specs show these items weighed more than 40 lbs, we will amend to that weight value. ******* may furnish this documentation through **************** standing lines of communication with the Trust and Safety team.

    I am rejecting this response because: Clutters response begs the question: How exactly did Clutter come up with its initial assessment? Absent an answer, Clutter nevertheless expects me to do something much more scientific and difficult (e.g. locate manufacturers specs) to determine the weight of my property. I think the companys response confirms my suspicion that Clutter did not weigh my property before disposing of it as seems to be required by its Limited Security Warranty. I think Clutter needs to do a lot more to document exactly how it came up with an offer of $120.

    Clutter Moving and Storage This is the first time I have ever filed a complaint against a company. But I am so frustrated and alone that I am stepping up. As a new business, Clutter was once a solid and ethical organization. It started as a good for you, good for us arrangement. But they changed everything by hoodwinking their clients. They had one contract and then suddenly without notice imposed a different and extremely costly new fee structure on their long term customers. A ****** search will share volumes... They also have an offshore group now managing billing. They are very aggressive and unscrupolous in their practices and policies. I have repeatedly tried to communicate with them without success. Can you PLEASE assist in getting this company to behave ethically and legally. At this point I am angry and hopeful for a class action lawsuit I can participate in. I have until now always avoided such efforts not believing in taking advantage of others including businesses. But this company has so disappointed and caused me to choose otherwise. Please please help! Thank you- *** @ ************ phone

    I utilized this service as storage for home items before (Nov-Dec 2024) I moved from ** to ******** on Dec 1. A week prior to my moving I asked to remove all of my stuff from storage. They confirmed with me that Id be able to take all my things. On the day of my move, just two hours before Im supposed to go to ***, I received a vague email that I couldn't get half my items all of which included my bedframe, my TV and upwards of maybe $5k. At the storage facility, an employee told me that it in instances like these since it wasnt my fault that my things could be driven to a New York warehouse when ready. Clutter offered no follow-up that I didn't have to force them to give me. They have been uncommunicative and unhelpful and whats worse is that someone via email ***** of ************** Team told me that the warehouse holders lied and I cant get my stuff Sent to ********. Ive asked them to call me multiple times and they havent done so and they wait till the end of the day to email me and it takes virtually weeks to have a single conversation. They bury themselves in email conversation and no one has made any effort to call me. All of these things were purchased by my late mother and I really want my things back and delivered to *** or a Clutter facility as NONE of this is my fault. I should not have to pay them more money for issues they've created. Im infuriated by this company. I am presently sleeping on the floor in my home because of their negligence. I have told them time and time again I do not have the capacity to return to ** to get my things and they have constantly provided insufficient communications. In addition to this they tried to charge me for the month that my things were held against my will, and I only got a resolution from this financial strain by contacting my bank and alerting them to the fraudulent charge.

    Clutter is a moving and storage company that provides appointment-based pickups and returns for its clients furniture and other home goods. Clients items are palletized and placed in warehouse storage facilities on warehouse shelving. Clutter offers these storage services on an automated and recurring monthly subscription basis, billed every month beginning on the day of the initial storage pickup. Clutter also offers supplemental Protection Plan coverage, billed separately but on the same automated cycle.

    ****** ****** first contracted Clutters services on 21 October 2024 for an appointment serviced on 31 October 2024. Felders items were picked up in the ** area, and stored in our nearest warehouse in ********, **. As ****** received an Onboarding appointment on the 31st, Felders monthly billing cycle is on the final day of each month (28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st, depending on the month and year).

    On 25 November 2024, ****** scheduled a Warehouse Pickup appointment for 1 December 2024. A warehouse pickup appointment is an appointment type in which a client, or a clients chosen third-party moving company, brings a truck to Clutters warehouse staging area. Clutter pulls the clients items from warehouse shelving, depalletizes the items, unwraps the items, and stages the items at a staging area for pickup. Staging occurs at any point between the night prior to the appointment to the time of the appointment. These types of appointments are billed on the basis of $0.75/cubic feet (cuft) of items serviced.

    Because Felders items remained in storage on the date of Felders billing cycle, on 30 November 2024, ****** was automatically billed the full monthly storage charge of $338/month, plus the $25 Protection Plan coverage. Per our Terms of Use, visible at ***************************************************************

    "By using the Services, or other paid services or products provided by Clutter, you agree to our pricing and payment terms, as we may update them from time to time. [...] You hereby authorize Clutter to bill the subscription fee to your Payment Method, along with any applicable taxes or additional fees due during the billing period. You must cancel the ********************** prior to the end of the then-current subscription period in order to avoid billing of the next subscription periods subscription fees to your Payment Method. Any change to our ********************* pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in these Terms. [...] You may cancel your ********************* at any time once the minimum storage term you committed to has been met; however, you will not receive a refund for the then-current subscription period. [...] When you cancel the *********************, you cancel only future charges associated with your Clutter Account. You may notify us of your intent to cancel the ********************* by booking a final return of the Customer Items, but the cancellation will only become effective at the end of the subscription period in which we perform your final return. You will continue to have the same access and benefits of the Services for the remainder of the current subscription period.

    On 1 December 2024, while our warehouse team was preparing Felders order, the machine our warehouse uses to pull furniture off warehouse shelving unfortunately broke down, preventing Clutter from completing the 1 December 2024 order until the machine was fully repaired. Clutter immediately notified ****** prior to the appointment, and encouraged ****** to reschedule for the remainder of the furniture that could not be placed in the staging area. ****** elected to pick up the items that were able to be staged for pickup, and transported these items to ********, **, leaving all remaining items in the ********, MD, warehouse.

    Clutter has a claims process for quality-of-service and billing-related issues. Claims for these issues are called Issue Claims. On 3 December 2024, ****** filed an Issue Claim regarding this experience. Clutter provided a $105 billing correction to Felders original $363 appointment bill, which accounted for the $0.75/cuft for the items that could not be serviced.

    ****** reached out to the Trust and Safety team, which holds sole purview over claims, on 3 December 2024 after receiving the claim ruling. ****** was offered the additional courtesy waiver of the November - December billing cycle, and was provided instructions on how to claim the $326.73 prorated amount. However, as ****** had already disputed the charge with ************* those funds were frozen on Clutters end, preventing Clutter from providing that refund until the bank dispute is dropped and the funds are re-released to Clutter. Once the dispute is dropped, the prorated refund offer of $326.73 will again be accessible in Felders Account Portal at **********************************.

    ****** now lives outside the DC Warehouses Delivery Zone. As Clutter is not (nor ever has been) a long-distance moving company, Clutter can only deliver items to a location within the warehouses service area. The list of locations Clutter can deliver Felders items can be found here: **********************************************************************************************************.

    Per Clutters Terms of Use, visible at ***************************************************************

    Clutter will not pick up, deliver, or return Customer Items at or to an address that is outside our then-current delivery zone (a Delivery Zone), unless we otherwise agree to do so in writing. To determine whether a zip code is within a Delivery Zone, you may input a zip code into ************************** and review the results. Times given for pickup, delivery, collection, packing, and returns are only estimates and Clutter shall not be liable for any delays. Clutter may, in its sole discretion, refuse, cancel, postpone, or otherwise reschedule any Services, including pick up, delivery, packing, collection, or return of Customer Items, for any reason or no reason, including, without limitation: [...] Department of Transportation or state tariff regulations; labor shortage; unexpected logistical challenges; prior or current unpaid account balances or incomplete documentation; or any other reason.

    While we acknowledge this created an unfortunate circumstance, Clutter was within its rights to cancel the appointment due to unavoidable operational issues, and is neither able nor liable to deliver Felders items to NY from DC.

    The broken machine was finally fixed on 7 January 2025, at which time ****** was instructed to book a second Warehouse Pickup, or a delivery within the DC Warehouses Delivery Zone. Upon hearing this news, ****** stated the ************'s employees informed ****** that Clutter offers delivery services from ** to **. To reiterate, Clutter is not, nor ever has been, a long-distance moving company, and a DC to NY delivery is far outside the scope of Clutters services. When repeatedly asked, ****** would not provide any evidence that any member of Clutter promised ****** this service. The Trust and Safety team conducted an internal investigation of this claim, and was ultimately unable to find any evidence that corroborates Felders statement.

    The Trust and Safety team presented ****** with the delivery options available within Clutters scope of services: a warehouse pickup, or a delivery within the Delivery Zone. Clutter is waiving the Clutter-side costs of these appointments, but will not cover any third-party costs, such as hiring a long-distance mover. Per the Limited Security Warranty, visible at *****************************************************************,

    "The Limited Security Warranty does not apply to, and Clutter shall not in any event be liable for, any loss or damage that falls into the following categories: [...] (vii) loss of business, sales, revenue, profits or anticipated savings."

    ****** is currently coordinating with the Trust and Safety team the return of Felders remaining items in storage, and ****** is concurrently working with a third party to receive Felders remaining items within Clutters Delivery Zone. Should ****** have any questions, we encourage ****** to utilize established communication channels with the Trust and Safety team.

    Moving service was scheduled by my roommate, I did not authorize the service but they ended up taking my items and storing them, somewhere along the way my signature was forged. Upon calling my only options were to fulfill the agreement or pay an insane amount of money to get my items back. Upon fulfilment and after being forced to pay around $1800 and the return of my items on 12/17 they caused $5000 of damage to my personal belongings, I tried to dispute this with Clutter's dispute team in which they offered me a reimbursement of $160. This is the most fraudulent criminal company there is, they steal your personal belongings, hold them in an unknown warehouse somewhere and make you pay them just to return them to you destroyed, I can't believe they're allowed to operate.Attached are pictures of the damaged returned items A irreplaceable one of a kind China cabinet worth $4000 My daughters dresser worth $1000 and an oversize ottoman worth $800 Attached also is the forged signature on their contract as well as a picture of my government ID with my actual signature and a piece of paper I signed for comparison.

    Clutter is a full-service moving and storage company. For a fee, Clutter packs, stores, and digitally inventories customer items in one of our warehouses. Customers can manage their inventory online and schedule appointments as needed to remove or add items into storage.  Customers may file an item claim for damaged or lost items and an issue claim for billing concerns.  The customer joined ********************** on 4/29/2024 and closed their account on 12/15/2024. The customer had an ******* commitment which ended on 11/30/2024.

    Clutter first became aware of this customer's issue when they filed this ******************** complaint on 1/16/2025. The customer has accused us of fraud and is unhappy with paying storage costs for items they say were never meant to be stored with Clutter. They are also unhappy with our offers for their item claim. Prior to the complaint, the customer filed an item claim on 12/16/2024 which was reviewed according to their $1/lb protection plan. Only 2 of the 3 claimed items were approved with the denied item falling within our composite wood policy exclusion. 

    Upon reading their BBB complaint, the Clutter: Trust & Safety team reached out to the customer via a phone call on 1/21/2025. The customer reiterated the points made in their BBB complaint - that Clutter fraudulently stored items without their consent when their ex-roommate stored their items and that we provided an unsatisfactory offer for their item claim. During the call, we asked the customer if they filed a police report or civil suit against their ex-roommate and the customer said they'd done neither. The customer stated they shared an email address and billing account with their ex-roommate that was used to pay for utilities and various shared services that was under the customer's name and banking information. The customer said that the only proof they have of this being fraud is by comparing the signature on their driver's license to the signature seen in their appointment documents that they claim is forged. The customer also stated they have been contacting us about this issue for the past 8 months. To resolve their complaint, the customer asked us to increase the offer on their item claim and refund all storage charges. We asked the customer if they have any alternate email or phone number that they contacted our support team with but the customer assured what we have on file is their correct contact information. 

    After the phone call, the Trust & Safety team completed a full review of this customer's account. Based upon the email and phone number attached to their account, we have no record of the customer reaching out about these issues until the BBB complaint was filed on 1/16/2025. The customer was advised to file an issue claim for their billing request and was notified we'd give their item claim another review. 

    The customer filed their issue claim on 1/21/2025 which was denied the same day. Their item claim was reviewed again on 1/23/2025 with approval for all 3 items. we determined that their $1/lb offers would be enough to repair the Clutter-caused damages and we made an exception to our composite wood exclusion. Though we compared the signatures, Clutter staff are not handwriting experts and the customer was urged to file a police report for their fraud accusation. Their account name, contact information, and billing information are all in the customer's name. We could not find any support request prior to 1/16/2025 to validate their complaint. 

    The Clutter team did attempt to resolve this customer's concerns but ultimately we are unable to verify their fraud accusation. We did make an exception to an exclusion in our Limited Security Warranty Policy as an act of good faith. All monthly storage fees and appointment labor charges are valid.

    The Limited Security Warranty does not apply to, and Clutter shall not in any event be liable for, any loss or damage that falls into the following categories: [...] (ii) loss of or damage to any Prohibited Stored Items (as defined in the Agreement); (iii) loss or damage to composite wood items, such as pressboard, particle board or ready-to-assemble furniture [...]

    Under the law, businesses must take steps to ensure that charges to customers' credit cards, debit cards, phone bills, and other accounts are authorised. Those principles apply to mobile payments, too. It's also illegal to bill people for negative options, automatic shipments, or continuity programs without their express consent.

    Express consent was never given for these charges. There is no written or expressed agreement to any terms other than a fraudulent signature.

    Customers agree to **********************'s Terms of Service when booking an appointment thus a handwritten signature is not required to agree to these terms. Customers are provided various documents before and after their appointments such as a Bill of Lading, Estimated Costs, and Inventory Form requiring signatures. These documents are for legal compliance purposes and do not affect storage agreements. While Clutter does employ various methods to protect against credit card fraud, document signatures are not typically checked for forgery. Occasionally, an account holder may use a day-of-contact to supervise an appointment in their stead, resulting in mismatching signatures. 

    As a registered LLC, Clutter abides by all applicable laws and regulations. The customer has admitted a 3rd party had access to their home, items, and payment methods. They have not submitted sufficient documentation showing this is a fraud case. This appears to be a civil case between the customer and a 3rd party. We maintain that Clutter is not at fault here and are open to working with the customer to resolve this but their fraud accusation is currently denied. 

    Per our Terms of Use, visible at ***************************************************************

    "If you open a Clutter Account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then: (a) you includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the entitys behalf. [...] Clutter will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Clutter Account."

    I am rejecting this response because:

    "Customers agree to **********************'s Terms of Service when booking an appointment thus a handwritten signature is not required to agree to these terms."

    Clutter is holding me responsible for an appointment that was not booked by me, therefore no terms of service were agreed to.

    "A vendor has a responsibility to take reasonable steps to verify the legitimacy of a check or credit card before accepting it as payment, which includes checking for potential signs of fraud by comparing signatures, billing addresses, and other identifying information with the provided details, and utilizing available security features like chip-and-pin technology on card readers; failing to do so could leave them liable for fraudulent transactions depending on the circumstances and payment processor policies."

    Clutter did not due it's diligence to verify signatures or other security features and instead accepted the presented payment without identification or cross reference. 

    This is also considered a crime on behalf of clutter. 

    All suits are between myself and clutter for continuing to process payment without authorisation and knowingly committing fraud in full admittance given the following response "While Clutter does employ various methods to protect against credit card fraud, document signatures are not typically checked for forgery". It is clear clutter disregarded steps to check for forgery or validate the payment and the validity of their own service agreement and the involved parties.

    This also does not take into account the damage cause by the negligence of clutter's moving team to personal items, which far exceed the value of what was charged. 

    This claim will not be dropped without financial compensation for the damages caused but the negligence of the provider.

    As the customer is accusing ********************** of a crime, we are not able to assist them in this regard. They will need to contact their local law enforcement for assistance. The customer does not have access to internal procedures that Clutter follows to mitigate fraud cases and is making accusations based on opinion. The customer is free to seek legal counsel for this matter. 

    Their item claim was reviewed according to their $1/lb protection plan and we determined that our $1/lb offers matches the fair values for repair, repainting, and cleaning of their claimed items. The customer's chest contained pre-existing damages as evidenced from the inventory photos our team took on the day of pickup thus we shall only cover the new damages. The customer is free to send in repair invoices for their damaged items for additional review but we cannot guarantee an above policy offer at this time. 

    Should the customer involve law enforcement or legal representation, Clutter will fully comply with any information request.

    Accusations are not being made. The above response was solely based on the clutter resolution teams response above, where they openly admitted to not confirming or validating signatures for payments or services rendered: "While Clutter does employ various methods to protect against credit card fraud, document signatures are not typically checked for forgery." openly admitting that they did not check or confirm the validity of the signatures, therefore not upholding their part and violating Penal Code 470 PC California Forgery Laws. 

    Also, all damages accusations made were clearly notated and photographed per return of the item in question, these were all new damages and are not pre-existing in original photos. Clutter is now attempting to falsify information on the perceived condition of the item. 

    I am still open to resolution before a demand letter is sent,pursuant to California law prior to submitting a claim in court.

    Date of the Transaction:The initial transaction occurred in April 26, 2024, with the final delivery date on January 11, 2025.Amount Paid to the Business:We paid a total of $2,987.90, which covered packing, 8 months of storage, and delivery services.What the Business Committed to Provide You:Clutter committed to safely pack, store, and return all of our belongings in their original condition. This included secure storage and timely delivery of all items.Nature of the Dispute:Upon delivery of our items on January 11, 2025, several of our belongings were missing, and one was damaged:- A 44-inch ******** (missing)- A fully stocked toolbox containing drill, drill bits screwdrivers, nails, measuring tape, and other tools (missing)- A mattress topper (missing)- An air humidifier (missing)- A lamp (delivered broken)Despite providing screenshots and emails confirming these items were in Clutters possession and listed in our account, they mysteriously disappeared. We were initially told the items would be delayed, but they later vanished from our account, and a representative claimed they were never there.Attempts to resolve the issue with Clutter have been met with repeated denials of responsibility and dismissive communication. Their handling of this situation has been unprofessional and unhelpful, and we have lost over $1,000 in belongings, of which they've claimed only $49 of damages.We have contacted Clutter numerous times via email and phone, providing proof of the missing items and requesting resolution. However, the company has refused to accept responsibility beyond $49.00 of damages, denied our claims, and made no effort to address the missing and damaged items.This experience has caused significant stress and financial loss. We trusted Clutter with our belongings, and their failure to deliver on their promises has been deeply disappointing. We are requesting a full investigation and compensation for the missing and damaged items.

    On January 12, 2025 Angelyce reported missing and damaged items after their truck to truck final return appointment on January 11, 2025. Upon Clutters internal investigation, we accepted liability for the following lost items: toolbox, air humidifier, decorative picture, and bag and issued an offer to Angelyce in alignment with the protection plan Angelyce elected upon signing up for Clutter. 


    Subject to the terms, limitations, exclusions, and conditions of this Limited Security Warranty Policy and the Agreement, and solely to the extent covered by Clutters insurance policy, Clutter will reimburse you for: Loss of or damage to your properly packed Stored Items that have been tampered with, lost or stolen while in Clutter's possession, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (the "Limited Security Warranty")
    ***************************************************************************************;
    After Clutters internal investigation, we were unable to identify Clutters liability for the reported missing mattress topper and TV as these items were scanned as returned on January 11, 2025. 


    Additionally, this was a truck to truck service appointment. ******** hired a third party company to retrieve the items from Clutter. Upon investigating the damages to the reported lamp, we determined that the item was handled by a third party company once out of Clutters possession resulting in denied coverage for the lamp.


    In order to be eligible for reimbursement under (ii) or (iii), you must timely notify Clutter of any applicable damage while Clutter personnel remain present during or after the performance of services. Clutter shall have the right to decrease or deny reimbursement to the extent that your or a third party's negligence or willful act contributed to the claimed damage.


    We have since spoken with Angelyce and re-issued an offer above the limitations of their plan of $1/lb and Angelyce has since accepted the offer.

    - Initial contract date: 3/30/21 - I used Clutter's "full-service" package to have movers pack, label, take photos of my household items, and move everything to storage.- Upon arrival at the storage unit, a photo of a shattered glass tabletop appeared in my Clutter account. Someone at ********************** took the photo of the shattered glass.- I contacted the Clutter Claims Team - the claims team says the item would be covered by a $1/lb coverage - so a $30 reimbursement for a 30 lb item. However, the Clutter records show that the Callbox driver marked my items as 'wrapped by customer' which was incorrect. The items had been wrapped by *******, delivered to my house, not touched (because I didn't want them), and picked up again. So while the wrapping itself was done by *******, instead of re-wrapping the items, the driver marked them as 'wrapped by customer' and failed to do any additional wrapping. That was not the service I chose. I wanted full service packing. The items WERE packed by full-service packing - nothing had been changed with the wrapping/packing. However, the driver changed the designation to 'wrapped by customer' which voided all my coverage. Possibly an honest mistake by the driver, or possibly the drivers are instructed to do this by the Company, because it's a tricky way to void liability *********** any case, Clutter has gone to great lengths to avoid paying a $30 claim after I've paid them $6000+ in storage fees. **************** has been confrontational and annoying to deal with.

    On January 15, 2025 **** ***** filed a claim with the Clutter for a damaged item that was recently returned to him. The item in question was packed by the owner. All investigations and records indicate that Clutter did not pack this item. Furthermore, ***** was a customer that came to ********************** from a company that Clutter purchased, Callbox. Callbox history also indicates this item was packed by the owner. 

    Therefore, the item was denied as a "packed by owner" item and not valid for coverage. Clutter denied liability for an item that was not packed by Callbox, nor Clutter, per Clutter's terms and conditions. 

    See Below: 

    Items considered: "packed-by-owner" and therefore, not eligible for compensation under the Limited Security Warranty policy. Please see below: 

    Under no circumstances shall Clutter have any liability, or any responsibility to reimburse you, for any damages to any Stored Items that Clutter has not individually and specifically inspected, packed, sealed and photographed, including without limitation any items inside or in some way obscured by other items or packaging. Any such items are excluded from coverage."
    You hereby waive and release Clutter from responsibility for any damage to items that were not packed, moved, transported, or wrapped by Clutter and, with respect to the Smart Storage Services, were not inventoried by Clutter.

    However, as ***** has mentioned he is looking for a $30 resolution, and because Clutter values *****, Clutter has re-offered on his claim $30 as a token of customer appreciation. While the item remains not valid for coverage. 


    Therefore, the complaint **** *****  regarding $30 for a resolution to his recent claim, should be considered resolved.

    I have stored an apartment's worth of items with the business Clutter for three and a half years. Clutter packed up my items themselves and stored them in their warehouse. For this duration, I paid for insurance on the items in case of damage. The items were recently delivered to my home by a third party delivery company. Several of my items were badly damaged due to haphazard and unprofessional packing by Clutter, being jumbled together in boxes with no individual wrapping or padding. The items were clearly packed by Clutter due to being in Clutter branded boxes.I made an insurance claim for my damaged items with Clutter. Clutter is only willing to cover less than a third of the replacement cost and is taking no responsibility for the items in boxes that they packed themselves because the third party did not inspect the boxes, which would be impractical.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The damaged items that Clutter is choosing not to cover were unprofessionally thrown together into boxes by Clutter themselves. It is completely impractical to have my third party movers open every box and check for damage at Clutter's warehouse where they had a limited time window to access the items, which also cost me money to schedule. Clutter advertises that they handle packing, the fact that their insurance that I paid for does not cover this is completely unreasonable.

    We used this company to move all of our belongings into their storage units for 15 months and then to move everything into our new home just this past Sunday, December 1st, 2024. When the movers arrived to our home on Sunday, they discovered that a lot of the furniture was broken beyond repair. Through gross negligence a marble dining room table had been smashed into pieces, our couch had it's legs bent, a credenza had it's leg busted off, a day bed also had legs completely bent. Bed frames were broken, another marble and metal side table bent and warped and we haven't even opened up all of the boxes yet. Anyway, tremendous damage not average or singular, it's as if everything in our storage unit had been dropped off a 20 story building. And since Sunday I have not been able to talk to a live person. I have just interacted with chatbots via text, email and through their web portal. They want to settle with us for $1000 Total for the entire disaster. The marble table alone cost $3500. They won't provide me with the paperwork I signed digitally in Summer of 2023 where I agreed to pay for 'white glove' service and added insurance. I had no idea this added insurance that I've been paying for 15 mos would only 'cover' a total of $1000 - that's basically the entire premium. I also had no idea that this company has been allegedly doing this to many many clients, ie. destroying their property, not responding, offering pennies on the dollar. This company needs to be stopped. At the very least we would like our broken items replaced for their full value. We would prefer to have our entire bill reimbursed (including storage) but will settle for just having our furniture replaced. Please help!

    Clutter protects customers for instances of item damage or loss under the Limited Security Warranty Policy. Customers agree to the Limited Security Warranty Policy under Clutters Terms of Service and cannot use the service if they do not agree to the Terms. The Limited Security Warranty Policy states:


    Loss of or damage to your properly packed Stored Items that have been tampered with, lost or stolen while in Clutters possession, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (the "Limited Security Warranty") . . . You may purchase additional protection of either $1,000 or $2,500, in each case in aggregate per User.


    **********************************************************************


    The complainants claims were approved per her Protection Plan for up to $1000 in aggregate per account. The complainant is misrepresenting the total offer as being $1000. The complainant was offered $1000 in aggregate and $1/lb coverage beyond that. The Trust and Safety team has since gone beyond the complainants Protection Plan and has offered above policy. The complainant opted into this plan and confirmed that she had reviewed the Terms of Service and Limited Security Warranty Policy when making her initial reservation. 


    The complainant is misrepresenting the Protection Plan premium. The complainant stored with Clutter for 15 months and paid a premium of $15 a month for the Protection Plan for $1000 maximum coverage in aggregate per account. The total of $15 a month for 15 months is $225. Per the ******************************************************** Security Warranty is not insurance and should not be considered a replacement or stand-in for any kind of insurance. We strongly encourage you to purchase insurance for all of your Stored Items.


    **********************************************************************


    The complainant is similarly misrepresenting communications with Clutter and has been in contact with Clutter representatives regarding the item damage since December 1st. Clutter does not use chatbots or AI agents. The complainant contacted Clutter to dispute the results of the claim. As a gesture of customer appreciation, ********************** approved an offer above the limitations of the customers Protection Plan.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Clutter is merely repeating ad nauseum the lies it has already told me. To begin with, I was told I would be getting additional insurance for a premium of $15 per month. I also paid extra for the white glove service package. I was made to understand I would be getting additional coverage above the basic coverage offered for free by the company. I was told it was $1,000 maximum coverage per item. So for example if something was worth $469 I would get that amount if said item was destroyed. If something cost $3500 (ie my marble dining room table) I would at least get $1000 for that item. I signed those documents electronically and they are no longer available for me to see on the portal nor were they ever emailed or given to me. Secondly, I HAVE only chatted via TEXT with agents (real or AI - I do not know). It took from Dec 1st to Dec 5th before someone named ******* no last name provided called me on the phone. Before then, and when I filed my claim with BBB I had not been able to talk to anyone, save one agent in ***** who did not speak English clearly and who said they were not in authority to help me. I have the text exchanges to prove it. We are asking for basic compensation. Clutter is obfuscating, denying and delaying.

    Clutter has internally investigated the complainants lost item claim and found no evidence of any stored items not being returned. Clutter keeps track of customer items through a digital barcoding system and Clutter movers photograph customers items to document what is stored. The complainant stored 27 items with Clutter and all 27 were scanned as returned with timestamps corresponding to the time of the complainants final return on Nov 17, 2024. In order to scan an item, a mover has to be physically in front of the item
     The majority of items claimed as lost by the complainant were never inventoried or stored with Clutter and there is no evidence to suggest these items were present for the customers pick up appointment. When ********************** movers service a customers onboarding appointment they take a walkthrough photo to document the scope of the job prior to packing or moving the customers items. A thorough review of the walkthrough images confirms that the items the customer claimed were not present when ********************** picked up her items on Aug 2, 2023.
    Clutters Trust and Safety team reached out to the complainant following the lost item claim to gather more information to direct our warehouse search and provided the walkthrough images to the complainant to review. The complainant declined to provide more information about the lost items and only reiterated that items are missing. The complainant has provided no documentation referenced in this complaint to Trust and Safety. The complainant has remained in contact with Clutters Trust and Safety team since onboarding with Clutter in August of 2023 but has only raised the issue of items missing from her inventory as of Dec 2, 2024 following closure of her account and final return of her inventory on Nov 17, 2024.
    Per Clutters Terms of Service:
    You understand that Clutter is not responsible for any Customer Items that have been packed, moved, transported, or wrapped by you or by a third party at your direction. With respect to the Smart Storage Services, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for verifying that Clutter has photographed and/or inventoried all the Customer Items and that the inventory ********************** provides you in your Clutter Account is a true and complete inventory of the personal property tendered. Unless you make a written claim in your Clutter Account within 30 days from the Smart Storage Service appointment date for the correction of any errors or omissions in the inventory of your Customer Items, it will be assumed to be a full and correct list of Customer Items stored hereunder and ********************** shall not be liable for any piece, package, carton, or container not listed therein. You hereby waive and release Clutter from responsibility for any damage to items that were not packed, moved, transported, or wrapped by Clutter and, with respect to the Smart Storage Services, were not inventoried by Clutter.
    As such, Clutter has denied liability for missing items. The complainant is welcome to send any supporting documentation to the Trust and Safety team for review.

    Customer has not presented evidence to support claims of tampering to stored goods. The Trust and Safety specialist that reviewed the customers claim directly asked customer for such documentation and the customer has so far not provided evidence of tampering in support of her claims. The customer is welcome to send any supporting evidence for her claims to Trust and Safety.


    Clutter movers take walkthrough photos when initially picking up customer items. A thorough review of the walkthrough photos confirmed that the items listed in this complaint and in the customers lost item claim were not present when Clutter movers picked up her items in August of 2023.


    The customer has remained in contact with the Trust and Safety team since initially raising disputes for billing in August 2023. The customer did not raise the issue of items missing from her inventory until Dec 2nd, 2024 whereas her account was closed and all stored goods were returned on Nov 17th, 2024.


    The customer has raised the issue of billing discrepancies with the Trust and Safety team since August of 2023. While Clutter has offered a settlement for these issues as a means of providing a customer resolution, ********************** considers the billing accurate and the customers claims invalid. The customer has had numerous opportunities to provide proof of her claims to Trust and Safety and has so far declined to do so. Multiple reviews of the customers concerns from multiple specialists and department leadership provided no additional support for the customers claims and found that she was billed accurately for the service.


    The customer ultimately settled with ********************** with a pay to vacate agreement and agreed to pay a small sum of her overall delinquent balance owed to Clutter in exchange for a free final return of her stored goods.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
